Definition: Analogie in Greek means "like" or "similar." In this context, analogies are comparisons based on similarities rather than differences between things. They're used to show how two different things interact with each other, similar in appearance, size, quality, etc., without needing a direct comparison. Examples: - The Bible says the sun is like a burning coals. - The Greeks used it to describe the shape of an apple and the way it looks when cut. This concept helps in making ideas more vivid and understandable to non-experts.
